The Murder of Babcock.

GARDNER, H., Aug 2I.-The excitement here
over the Babcock murder has pretty much sub
sided. Miss Dodge waived hearing to-day and
was held in 81, 600 bail for appearance before
the grand jury. The action of her attorneys in
waving a hearing is said 10 be due to arrange
ment made with Babcock's friends in order TO
suppress the defense she would urge. This
practically settles the mysterious murder of
Baocock, and it is very doubtful IL anything
farther will ever be done in the matter.
